18 October 2022

Do you want to contribute to a more sustainable world?
 
You can apply until 19 October 12:00 hrs for the Bachelor Honours Programme Sustainability (15 EC) by filling in and submitting this application form.
 
This unique interdisciplinary programme is offered to talented and curious second- and third-year bachelor's students who want an additional challenge and look beyond the bounds of their own degree programme.

About the programme

The Bachelor Honours Programme Sustainability organised by a joint initiative of the Honours Academies of Leiden University, Delft University of Technology, and Erasmus University Rotterdam, and the LDE Centre for Sustainability. The programme provides you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to make a real contribution to a more sustainable society.
 
During the Fundamentals
 (5 EC) of this new interdisciplinary programme you will learn all about sustainability as a scientific field. You will learn about systems thinking, discuss a range of design methods for system transitions, social and environmental change, and debate how we can accelerate global sustainability transitions.
 
Then you will put your new knowledge into practice in a real-world 
Sustainability Challenge (10 EC). With a team of interdisciplinary students from all three universities you will take on a challenge provided by regional stakeholders from across public, private or civic spheres. To give some examples:

  • Can you develop solutions to the housing crisis that simultaneously help cities in meeting their climate goals?
  • Can you create a plan for a business to make their supply chain practices more circular?
  • Can you investigate policies to make sustainable technologies such as renewables or electric vehicles more broadly available to society?
